Let me give a little background before i ask my question. I personally run a Samsung epic 4g and have been on Cyanogen Mod 7 for a while. Obviously its not the RC as the epic its self isn't supported, however, i find it to be a great rom to run in day to day situations despite loosing camera functionality.
My friend has a Droid X and hes really unhappy with it at the moment because the rotation lag and the keyboard lag make it almost unusable. Recently, I rooted it for him, hes running .602, and I've been thinking about putting him on a Init rom like CM7 because i want him to see what android should really be like. He doesn't use the phone for anything other than texting and Phone calls so a slim fast rom would be the best for him. The one problem with putting him on the nightly builds for CM7 is that he might loose some functionality on his phone, and knowing him, even if he doesnt use it, he would hate to not have his camera working or his gps working poorly. He that kind of person.
What would be the best rom to start him on to slim down the system, kill all the blurrness, and still keep as much functionality as possible? Remeber hes on .602, id like to be able to keep him on that so that I don't have to use SBF.
Is the Droid x version of CM7 stable enough for every day useage or should i look at some of the variants that have been made?
CM7.
he'll lose HD vid recording, but the "high" recording(which works) is plenty suffice, imo.
bat life is fine. 18-20hrs on avg use.
CM is stupid fast on the DX. I love it.
(oh & have never had issues with my GPS)
If you go for CM7, make sure to get the version for Gingerbread kernel, not the Froyo one. Battery life on GB is improved

yep..good point on gb kernel
CM7 is the fastest rom that I have used on the DX. As for the GB kernel, there are unofficial nightlies that are running on the kernel, but the official nightlies will be updated with the GB kernel within the next week...
It may be easier to jump on the official nightlies and wait a few days instead of having to do a lengthy install process twice.
so i should put him on the nightlys? All hell loose is video? If that's true then it will be perfect since he doesn't use that feature at all on his phone. Thanks.
Shuji is an execellent rom...it runs faster than cm7 for me. I have run both the .596 and .602 and both are very stable

ya, he'll be fine on nightly. you don't lose video completely. you just lose 720p recording is all. you still can record in 480p, which still looks surprisingly good
I had a wonderfully experience with omgb 1.2.2
It was godly fast. It honestly impressed me more than cm7 and I run it on most of my other phones.

<nonbiased statement>
I don't currently run any custom ROM, but I would probably say, try out Apex, Fission, and GummyJar. Those are the top 3 right now. At that point, it's up to you on how you like the feel of each... I think GummyJar has a new version that just came out, and is supposed to do really well in terms of performance...
</nonbiased statement>
^^ sorry for the stupid tags...been working with xml all day at work...and now at home... had to throw it in there...
+1 for GummyJAR
the fastest rom is the one you overclock and the one with best battery life is the one you underclock. i really like gummy though pretty good rom
Also keep an eye on Obsidian. This is from wiki.ccroms.net I believe.
This is a completely AOSP (minus moto kernal :weep build. right now there are some issues with camera and gps, and some reports of battery drain. But when this is all fixed, it should be the best ROM out there!
I use gummJAR v2.5. The best rom for you is what is dependent on your likes. If you like blur elements then apex or dark slide are the way to go. If you want blurless then focused, gummy, or fission. Battery life and speed are subjective and can't be truly measured. If a rom gives me great battery life, that doesn't mean it will for you too.
So what's the difference between Gummy and Fission? I'm currently running a version of ZapX that I want to get rid of. I'd like to have the most recent update as well.
How do both roms perform in terms of GPS? Of my friends with the X, my GPS fails miserably...
ROMs are a matter of personal taste, but after struggling with random reboots on TranQ I've settled on Gummy Jar. If you don't like blur, you'll find GJ 2.5 is smooth and stable. I can't compare it to Fission though, which gets similar kudos. The beauty of the Nandroid is you can try them all without too much trouble.
To do a fair comparison, I recommend SBFing first (if you haven't done so in a while). Then make a Nandroid of your clean set up so you can install each ROM fresh. If you like a ROM, make a Nandroid of it before going back and trying another.
Gummyjar if i can remember is completely aosp.
it also boots faster than any rom ive ever used.
if you dont use gummyjar, go with fission
I've been using GummyJar and I think I'm about to give Fission a try. Would rather see what else is out there.
+1 for GummyJAR if you want blurless but if want blur, try FlyX Bazinga 2.4. I uses it for a while and had almost NO issues. I did have an issue just for 1 day where it rebooted few times by it self but it was just for that day. Don't know what casued it but that was the only time. It never happened again. Its very stable and fast rom. I currently use GummyJAR2.5.
I agree with all those who support gummyjar 2.5. Been uaing it now, and have not had a SINGLE reboot. If u do want blur, I think there is a new rom called fusion that is being released. Its fission with blur aspects added back in.

I have been using Gummy Jar 2.1 since before Christmas and love it so far. It has considerably sped up my phone. I designed a custom theme and basically have 3 homescreens covered in widgets, so I need a light, quick ROM. This one does the trick. I have had a few restarts, but hey, I had those on stock also...
Edit: Switched to Liberty 1.0 a little while ago and it blew my mind. Definitely my recommendation now.
i used fission, tranquility, apex, and gummyjar.
tranquility boot looped constantly for me, so that one was out. coulda been just me, who knows..
i am not sure what i didnt like about apex...
fission and gummyjar were both good and i knew i wanted to use one of those.
for the last week i have been running gummyjar, seems very stable and is lightning fast. i just started doing roms in the past 10 days, and i do not see myself changing from gummy right now. my girlfriend has a stock dx and my dx is so much faster and she still gets random reboots occasionally. i, however, do not
Rubix??? cant belive nobody has said this its probably the most popular rom, at least on the droid forums it is. The latest build uses gummyjar as a base so you get all the great speed and aospiness from gummyjar plus all the crazy tweaks of rubix for insane battery life, i havn't once needed to charge other then over night and i'm a very heavy user. I do have the extended battery though
I've tried all the rims you've posted and always go back to Fission. I really wanted to like gummy but it seemed inconsistant to me.

With many devices over many years, I've consistently found that stock firmware is more stable and functional than enthusiast-developed firmware.
I have literally never found an enthusiast-developed firmware that doesn't have at least some minor interface glitches. Most have some problem that's major enough that after a few hours of playing I revert to stock.
Occasionally I will run something other than stock, but that is typically after the device has aged to the point that this is the only way to get a feature. By that point, it's usually time to replace the device, anyway.

I agree in general, but of course there are exception. When I had an HTC Evo 4G, I ended up running CM6 as my daily and it was exceptionally stable. At least as good as stock HTC Sense. Unfortunately when Gingerbread came around, that changed, and CM7 was not in the same ballpark.
On my Nexus, though... yeah I run stock ROM. CM7 is cool and if I had any other device (that came with a carrier OS and not pure Android), I would dump that shiz and rock CM7 for sure. But plain pure stock Android developed by a team of amazing developers specifically for this device, that's just not going to be beat
Hah. Google's "official" code isn't really better then what rom devs provide if they know what they're doing. The way google keeps pushing buggy code without giving a s*** is really disappointing. They release updates and then they stop caring about it. As some pointed out the gb update brought call delay and broke aac support, it really seems like they don't even do some basic testing before releasing a new version (which even the crappiest developer on the block generally does). On top of that, there is still no support at all for gpu acceleration in the ui, which is kinda retarded. Day after day i'm getting more and more disappointed about google dev team's job, they don't really deserve half the respect that many geeks keep tributing them.
Stock vs Custom rom on the NS was something I always thought about too! I only ran stock for a few hours because I immediately flashed a new rom when I got my phone LOL But what I can remember from the stock 2.3.4 was that it was fast, faster than any phone I've ever had. But there are so many features that are incorporated in custom roms and it's really hard to forgo these things.
Anyone out there who has used both stock 2.3.4 and oxygen who can attest to better battery life and performance? I am curious as well.
The last phone I used for a long time running stock was my N1 but after flashing CM6 I never really looked back. Speed increase was very noticeable and battery life was better. This is the reason why I never really bothered to use stock software for my next phones.
well, to be honest, i kinda regret to be flashed customs. Stock is so stable and has so good battery life, but now i can't live without cm7 features, just can't...
it's sad story that shows that you can't miss what you don't know! =oP
I agree for the most part, stock gb is pretty good. Using Oxygen now, and the stability and speed from stock + some nice features makes it a good choice!

In the case of Oxygen not much difference but I believe CM pretty much guts the framework and replaces it with their own heavily modded version.

I'm currently running CM7, I haven't tried many different roms with this phone, the others I had on my phone at least(besides CM7) were Froyo(stock/rooted) and rooted GB. What other custom roms would be good for me to try, for example, if I want to keep hdmi functionality and 720p recording etc. Is there an AOSP rom where I can keep that functionality?
Liberty .9 is pretty smooth and has the HDMI and 720 p recording down, as well as being very customizable (liberty customizer prompts at first boot to choose which features asop and blur you wish to have).

Cm7 is very stable. I update with the nightly every day.

I'm currently using MIUI and besides the questionable battery life, I love it. My phone feels completely different, in a good way. It's also very smooth and haven't run into any problems yet.
I've been using Liberty v0.9 since it came out. Very smooth, customization is there, everything works... Best rom I've used. Had a problem the first time I loaded it. Re-downloaded it and data wipe fixed it. Liberty toolbox is just as good as team blackhat app.
I'm running Liquid now, i looked at Darkslide X, my phone isn't activated yet, and wanted to know if i have to switch back to stock to get it activated(i may flash to a local company, not Verizon). I might try Liberty.

Agreed 100% MIUI so far has been absolutely wonderful. I would agree though about the battery life issue. Prior to MIUI I was running an early leaked build of Froyo, FroyoDynamite, with SetCPU active on stock kernel I was getting around 2 days of battery life. With MIUI I'm lucky to get a full day.
But everything is super smooth, and it is absolutely beautiful, and the ability to change themes on the fly is amazing. I would agree, it's like a brand new phone to me again.
So is it worth it going from liberty 2.01 to liberty gb .9? I've been holding off because I finally got my dx to run nice with minimal random reboots. I'd love to be on 2.3 but If its still unstable I'll stick with this.

Liberty .8 was good. I then went on to try other ROMs. I avoided APEX because of the bluetooth issue. Right now I am back on rooted 596. CM4DX blew up on me on build 23 and I have been staying away.
I'm trying to find out which ROMS do not have the in-call bluetooth volume issue. I am not getting very many answers though. I wish there was a list of ROM's that do not have the bluetooth issue.
So I've been on liberty GB for awhile now, and want to switch roms, i was thinking about cm7 but it's still in beta and would like to wait till its final, unless it's worth it, so should I stay with liberty or go to another gingerbread rom? Thanks guys

I would stay on Liberty GB if I was you. Iv'e been on it for awhile and I really don't want to go to CM7 (yet) or other similar roms until the battery life is up to what I can get on Liberty. I know a lot of people have made the switch to CM7 OR Justice and came back to Liberty for the battery life. However, it has been very quiet in the Liberty world lately so it will be interesting to see if this ROM gets more development soon.
yeah, it has been very slow lately with the developement, hopefully it speeds up, btew, lately ive been getting celluer disconnect with liberty, have you had this
i have been on cm7 since it was released. most all issues have been resolved at this point. the only reason why there is no rc or stable release is because there is not a way to include the patch that must be flashed for the camera/camcorder/battery%/torch to work without errors. there is not hdmi but that is only because it is aosp.
there is other minor issues but not anything really serious. also a gb kernel is in the works for cm7.
battery life depends on your usage and setup. i can go 18hrs slight to moderate use. just depends on your habits and setup.
i can watch net flix 2hr movie and still have 40% left.
i travel and need my x for work. trust me when in say this it is very stable at this point.

It's very close to a stock Android experience, and it's fast. You don't get a lot of the extra features like you do with other ROMs like CyanogenMod or Modaco's (to name a couple), but it's really nice on performance.
Also, if you don't like it, you can always flash a different ROM.

i followed pete all the way up with my crespo and i can say his gingerbread roms are very good. they run smooth and stable even the instable nightlies. maybe the consumption should be lower but when i changed kernel(s)/rom(s) i always experienced instability or higher consumption. so my advice is to keep a "clean" pete rom. it's a good compromize.
regarding his ics roms ... i'm not not completely convinced e.g. the kernel is far from the best. however, it's just the beginning. i hope it ending up as the GB series.

I'm now using the latest 5 Jan BuglessBeast + Eugene 3.1.6 ICUP kernel,
cpu governor is smartassv2 and the result is an awesomeness. Really fast and smooth.
It's a close-to-stock vanilla rom. No visual UI mods but system enhancement and
optimization. Pete is a really good and well known developer.
It's also less power consume. The battery now is 66%, 12 hours usage.
I did some phone calls & a lot messages through SMS, MiTalk and WhatsApp.
A suggestion : you must try it yourself
TWRP has a recovery for the Atrix as well but it's still rather new, not many people have used it.
That's pretty good battery life considering you made voice calls and a lot of texts. I'll have to try that setup.

I agree that the motoblur on. The Atrix was pretty bad, but with custom roms like Darkside and CM7 based roms it makes the phone so much better. Should try it sometime.
